Tuesday night’s Indiana loss to Purdue was a special kind of suck. Having lost 10 out of 11 games coming into the in-state battle, the Hoosiers’ season had long since spiraled out of control. Just over the weekend, the club walked through the motions for 40 miserable minutes in Minnesota. And to make matters worse, the annoying Little Brother was coming to town as the Big Ten’s hottest and most surprising team.
A blowout loss, which seemed inevitable, would have been fine. And before you get upset with that statement, think about the fact that if Purdue had run out to a 15-point halftime lead like they should have, you could turned the game off and been asleep by 8:30 or Netflix-and-chilled with your significant other.
